TI - Comprehensive coordination chemistry : : the synthesis, reactions, properties & applications of coordination compounds / SN - 9780080262321 AV - DUCE QD474 .C65 PY - 1987/// CY - Oxford PB - Pergamon Press, KW - Science KW - Coordination compounds N1 - Includes bibliographies and indexes N2 - Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry is a major reference work that provides an extensive survey of the chemistry of coordination compounds. The book examines the synthesis, structure, bonding, reactivity, and physical properties of metal complexes across the periodic table, integrating both fundamental principles and experimental developments in inorganic chemistry. The work covers key topics such as coordination theory, ligand behavior, stereochemistry, electronic structure, thermodynamics and kinetics of metal complexes, spectroscopic and magnetic characterization methods, and the mechanisms of coordination reactions. It also discusses the chemistry of transition metals, organometallic compounds, bioinorganic systems, and catalytically important metal complexes. In addition to describing the properties and reactions of coordination compounds, the book highlights their practical applications in catalysis, biological processes, medicine, materials science, analytical chemistry, and industrial technologies. By combining theoretical foundations with detailed reviews of research advances, the volume serves as a comprehensive resource for advanced students, researchers, and professionals working in inorganic and coordination chemistry.
